Social media at Princeton: n. the use of Web-based and mobile technologies to encourage engagement, interaction and discourse

Social media is a growing part of communications at Princeton University. Our staff manages oversight of the University's central social media presence and provides consulting services to individual departments and offices that participate in this rapidly evolving medium.

Along with our support services, our office offers strategies, policies and best practices to provide units on campus with a framework of guidelines for developing a successful social media program.
